Vetted Amazon SageMaker Professionals

“Built and deployed a production NLP sentiment analysis system at Piper Sandler to turn noisy, finance-specific customer feedback into scalable insights. Demonstrates strong end-to-end MLOps: fine-tuning BERT, improving label quality, monitoring for language drift, and automating retraining/deployment with Airflow and Docker (plus Kubeflow exposure).”

“ML/NLP engineer with Industrial IoT experience who built an end-to-end anomaly detection and GenAI explanation system: AWS (S3, PySpark, EC2/Lambda) pipelines feeding dashboards, plus transformer-embedding vector search to connect anomalies to noisy maintenance notes and past events. Demonstrated measurable impact (15% lift in defect detection; ~35% reduction in manual review; 35% fewer preprocessing errors) and strong productionization practices (orchestration, monitoring, rollback, data-quality controls).”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning serverless APIs and containerized workers (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS) plus data pipelines (Glue, S3, Athena/Redshift). Has modernized legacy SAS/cron batch systems into Python/AWS with parallel-run parity validation and low-risk cutovers, and has owned ETL incidents end-to-end (CloudWatch detection, backfills, and preventative controls). Targeting $130k–$150k base and strongly prefers remote, with occasional Bethesda onsite acceptable.”

“Repeat founder/CTO with hands-on experience raising capital from friends and family, angels, corporate sources, federal grants, private equity, and venture capital. Built a startup in a software business incubator, later sold the company, and went on to serve as an Engineering Manager at the acquirer inside the Plug and Play accelerator ecosystem.”

“ML/NLP engineer focused on large-scale data linking for e-commerce-style catalogs and customer records, combining transformer embeddings (BERT/Sentence-BERT), NER, and FAISS-based vector search. Has delivered measurable lifts (e.g., +30% matching accuracy, Precision@10 62%→84%) and built production-grade, scalable pipelines in Airflow/PySpark with strong data quality and schema-drift handling.”

“AI/LLM practitioner who has deployed production chatbots across e-commerce, HRMS, and real estate, focusing on retrieval-first workflows for factual tasks like product and property search. Optimized intent understanding and significantly improved latency by using lightweight embeddings and tuning the inference pipeline on Groq (Llama 3.3), while applying modular orchestration and measurable production evaluation.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, NLP, and AWS MLOps

New York, US3y exp

“Recent master’s graduate in robotics with applied experience across reinforcement learning and ROS 2 autonomy stacks. Built an RL-based drone vertiport traffic controller (PPO) focused on reward design and simulation integration, and has hands-on navigation work in ROS 2 including LiDAR preprocessing, SLAM/path planning, and stabilizing TurtleBot3 wall-following. Also brings deployment experience containerizing robotics nodes and scaling them with Kubernetes on AWS.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on backend/integration for indoor autonomous mobile robots, with hands-on ROS 2 experience integrating Nav2/AMCL/TF2 and LiDAR/camera pipelines. Emphasizes production readiness—robust failure recovery, QoS-tuned distributed communication, and strong observability (logging/health checks)—validated through Gazebo simulation, sensor-data replay debugging, and Docker-based CI/CD deployment.”

Executive CTO specializing in cloud-native SaaS, multi-cloud infrastructure, and AI/ML

Los Angeles, CA28y exp

“Hands-on infrastructure and engineering leader (Director of Global Infrastructure / CTO) who has run double-digit multi-million dollar data center expansion and cloud migration programs and scaled teams rapidly (including offshore/nearshore). Strong AWS and microservices background (Lambda/SQS/SES), with experience balancing deep technical architecture work alongside investor/VC communications and fundraising-related responsibilities.”
